Raise your hand if you had Alec Mills as the Cubs pitcher to throw a no-hitter in 2020???
Holy Shit! What a day for the Cubs right-hander, who just no-hit the Brewers in Milwaukee, striking out five and allowing just three walks on Sunday.

There have now been two no-hitters thrown in MLB this year, Lucas Giolito for the White Sox and Alec Mills for the Cubs.
And to think this was only Mills’ 15th career start.

The Brewers made plenty of contact, but nothing fell in for them on Sunday.

Mills pitched the 16th no-hitter in Cubs history.
Alec Mills, a 22nd-round pick out of Tennessee-Martin who is 28 years old and hasn't spent a full season in the major leagues, just threw the 16th no-hitter in Chicago Cubs history by shutting down the Milwaukee Brewers.
Baseball, man.

David Ross also became the 11th person to catch and manage a no-hitter in MLB history.
